I'm no expert, and I don't understand what pulled during shuffle means, but that rotation was less credit than the LCW minimum. Perhaps it pulled that trip during the shuffle when it couldn't find any other trip to add to it to reach the LCW.

The rotation you were awarded reached the LCW minimum.

I suspect you would have been awarded your first choice if you would have put in a LLW bid request before your other rotation requests.

Welcome to your new juniority.

Looks like you figured it out while I was typing. I'm so fast on the keyboard, don't cha know.

Yup, I think that's what happened too. Not only new juniority, but a category with no 1 or 2 day fillers.

Every once in awhile I fly with a young guy that says "I have 25 years left, I don't care about retirement medical". I hope they are in the minority.

Me Too! My "season" ended this week. Started with the LSU abortion on Monday and ended with the Saints fumble fest yesterday. Glad I was flying and didn't have to watch! It would have been too painful. Looking forward to next year already.

It would behoove even the junior most Delta pilot to care about our retirement medical plans!

Exactly! I'd gladly spend some negotiating capital to help guys retire. Take tsquare for instance. He could stop flying airplanes & spend more time taking road trips to TYS for Vols games.

I think he's young enough to retire here then apply at Southwest. I think he would love it over there.
